Thank you for rising above all of the other idiots out there and presenting cold, hard, and actually useful facts.

By not stopping the companies who hire illegal immigrants, and only focus on the day laborers on the street corners, the corporate media has effectively taken the heat off the rich who exploit the immigrants, imho

A thoughtful, although cynical analysis. I also think there’s too much fear about being labeled “sympathetic” by voters back home.

We should be supporting legislation that promotes free markets – and hence a workable solution that legally allows Mexicans to come and go and WORK as they please, and stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on plans that won’t realistically solve the issue. As long as it is profitable for THEM to work here (the opportunity for higher wages here outweighs the risk of being caught) no fence will fix this issue. Legalize it, regulate it, and adapt it to the market’s needs.

As clever as your commentary is, the best reason I can think of that there hasn’t been a pathway to citizenship is because the people are here ILLEGALLY.

Having said that, I do believe that we need to make provisions to allow more immigration (or just take over Mexico). I’d also like to see a higher minimum wage – but I think that would encourage more companies to bring workers in illegally.
